Discover how awesome learning piano can be!
I’m a NZ piano teacher, based in Rotorua who works both from my home studio and in local High Schools. I teach all levels, beginner through to advanced.
I believe that the process of learning piano should be enjoyable. My goal is to pass on skills, knowledge and a love of music that will encourage my students to thrive. Whether you’re a beginner, feeling a bit nervous about starting, or have been learning for a while and are feeling like your playing has plateaued, I’d love to inspire you with a fresh, positive approach that will help you develop your full potential.

Testimonials
"I worked alongside Kathryn Lauder for three years, and have found her to be a truly outstanding teacher. As a teacher of many years’ experience in a variety of schools myself, I have seldom worked with a person as gifted or as dedicated as Kathryn. She is one of those rare people who is extremely talented, both as a performing musician and as a composer, who also has the ability to inspire students, and the patience and dedication to help them achieve amazing things."
